OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 170 – Just tell me that my wife is fine

Alex was excited to be reunited with his wife, though her face was pale. He rushed to her side and kissed her on the lips, but there was no response, in contrast to the woman who demanded sex that night.

It saddened his heart to see her this way, and it was all because of him. However, if Mabel or whatever her name was had not attacked Joanna, would Violet have gotten in touch with him?

Well, it was still not a good enough reason for Joanna to be in this state. Alex knew he would have found her somehow even if the accident had not happened.

He spent so much time staring at her and only got distracted by the doctor’s words.

"We were caught between saving her life or that of the baby," the doctor announced. Colton had left after the surgery to take care of his sister, whom he had secretly moved to another hospital to hide her from Alex.

Colton had been trying to locate Logan to have him take care of Violet on his behalf, but sadly, he couldn’t reach him.

The next option was to hire assassins to take care of Violet as soon as she was out of police custody, but who knew that Alex would be here.

This was the first time he made a direct appearance with Salvador’s men, so did it mean he no longer wanted to hide?

Colton was smart enough to leave the moment the first batch of Salvador’s men arrived, but now, he was confused about the relationship between Joanna and Alex.

She wasn’t wearing the ring when he operated on her, so he thought she and Alex must have gotten a divorce and gave her special medications he had prepared to help her recover from her memory loss.

He was hoping for Joanna to wake up and recognize him so he could sneak her away, but things were complicated now, forcing him to leave matters in the hands of his fellow doctor.

Alex was hoping to reunite with his pregnant wife, only to be hit with this heart-breaking news. "Just tell me that my wife is fine," Alex growled, his glare on the doctor making her shiver.

She stammered, but there was no way she could hide the truth. Well, not the entire truth. "We had to induce a coma, but we couldn’t save the baby," she explained, leaving out the part that Colton insisted the baby might be deformed if they saved it.

"What did you say?" Alex’s eyes were so red, the doctor feared him more. If only he hadn’t been so exhausted and slept so much, Joanna would not have left before he woke up, and they would have resolved matters amicably.

None of this would have happened. Alex felt strongly that something was wrong, but Violet had told her what Joanna said. That evil woman wanted their baby dead.

"I’m afraid we couldn’t save the baby," the doctor said. Alex shook his head, staring at the bandage around Joanna’s head.

"It looks to me like it was a head injury, so how was the baby affected?" His demand for answers made the doctor uncomfortable.

"Doctor Colton can explain it better," she blurted out. Alex felt his fingers shiver. For someone who wanted Joanna for himself, Colton could have indeed gotten rid of their child.

"Colton did the surgery?" He asked dangerously. The doctor was sweating profusely but nodded. "Yes, but he has other emergencies."

"I want his location now," Alex demanded. If Colton intentionally got rid of Alex’s child, then he had to pay for it.

Not only did Colton touch Alex’s child but also the blood of a King. Everyone involved, including their families, would have to pay.

"I...I don’t know, sir. He’s new in town, and I don’t even know where he lives," the doctor replied. Alex scoffed and sent a text message to Dario.

’Look out the airports, subways, everywhere, and make sure Doctor Colton doesn’t escape. I want him alive, but you can check all the hospitals too.’

’On it,’ Dario responded through text message. Alex took a deep breath and asked the doctor. "When will she be out?"

He needed to ask Joanna some questions to confirm his suspicions, but after this moment, he was determined to never leave her side.

Perhaps, he would just have to move Dion to the mansion since he can’t find her savior. Grandpa and Logan would have to know Dion was alive for all the threats against his wife to stop.

Alex was so heartbroken that he wanted to replace Joanna on the hospital bed. If only he could take her place and carry all her pain as his.

"A few days at most. We induced the coma to save her because her womb had already suffered severe damage from a fire incident before," the doctor revealed. Alex froze instantly.

"What do you mean by that?" He asked, feeling his body shiver. Could Joan be the one?

The doctor feared this man and thought it best to bring out the details of everything she could not tell Colton in the operating room.

"I worked in a Manhattan hospital some years ago and operated on this lady. She was quite young by then and had a stab in her lower abdomen when she was brought by the paramedics. The stab affected her womb," he explained. Alex went numb, guilt welling up in his heart for all the torture he put Joanna through.

The doctor continued to explain. "I wasn’t sure at first, so I requested her medical records when I saw the change in her last name, but she’s the one. I’m sorry, but things were more complicated than they were supposed to be because of that. She survived a fire but was stabbed after. Her womb was affected by that stab."

Alex sunk to the floor, the news crippling. He asked Monica when he suspected Joanna must have been in the fire, but she showed no signs of knowing anything.

About to call Monica, his phone beeped and he saw a video from his chief security at Dion’s safe house. His expression was terrible.
